This week in Las Vegas, from April 8-11 companies gather to wow the world. And so at Booth C11126, Cobham, the RF specialist company that uses communications technologies to empower broadcast users, will feature a preview of one of the world’s smallest wireless HD camera transmitters at NAB 2013.

The new “Solo Micro HD” transmitter, a matchbox-size addition to Cobham’s “Solo” range, provides all-important transmission stability for high-quality HD images using low-latency H.264 compression in conjunction with Cobham’s powerful UMVL (ultra mobile video link) modulation. With latency as low as 15ms, the Solo Micro HD enables wireless and wired cameras to perform as a unified system to capture and transmit intimate details during events of any size, therefore enabling viewers to experience news, entertainment and drama in ways never before possible.

  Cobham is also launching a new HD MPEG4 IP Encoder that can easily be connected to virtually any camera. Specifically engineered for broadcast applications, the encoder has balanced audio inputs and, importantly, includes broadcast-standard IFB talkback within the unit. The encoder will be available in three forms, a small “brick”, camera back or rack mount.

NAB will also mark the North American debut of MediaMesh, a lightweight, rapid set-up field newsroom that uses ground-breaking technology to establish, in an instant, everything needed for a live broadcast including a broadcast quality transmission path for live two-ways; remote camera control; high quality file transfer; plus a high-capacity Internet connection with access to base newsroom computers and cell phones. All of this can be removed from a single, easily transported, case and be in operation in, literally, minutes.
